No: BMI %tile 48: In children, rather than use common place (and easy to calculate body mass index (BMI)), we use BMI percentile (which takes gender into account, unlike adult BMI), w/healthy is 5-85%. Check out http://nccd.cdc.gov/dnpabmi/Calculator.aspx where 8 stone = 112 pounds & I assume you're 5'4", not Tom Thumb-size 5.4". Your BMI is 19.2 & BMI %tile is 48 which is just right! But don't forget to exercise.
